Dream Ridge Lodge - Spacious, Private and Centrally Located
About this house rental
Welcome to the newest Lodge in the Barr Top Rentals Fleet. We acquired this wonderful location in early August 2022 and it has quickly become a favorite of our many guests since we opened. This might be the best location for a vacation rental in the entire PA Elk Range. Less than 1 mile from Cross Scenic Overlook, 3.2 mile from Palumbo Lodge, 4 miles from Medix Run and 5 Miles from the Winslow Hill Elk Visitors Center. The lodge is situated on 9 acres, is very private and has a huge yard to enjoy. There are very few places in this remote region where you can be this close to all the main attraction and just 20 minutes from Saint Mary's (In case you forgot anything or just want a different option for dining out). Another benefit to the location is its accessibility year round. The cabin is accessed from a freshly paved and well maintained township road that also welcomes ATV riding. We provide everything we can think of for your stay. From a fully furnished kitchen to bed linens and bath towels, we try to make your travels as easy as possible. Enjoy the spacious property and giant front and back yard. Bring the baseball gloves, frisbee or whatever you enjoy outdoors. Grill on the deck (we provide the propane) or over a fire in the back yard fire pit. (Sorry, we do not provide firewood). Cozy up in front of the wood pellet fireplace in the winter months. Wood Pellets for heating can be purchased just about anywhere. If you have to work while you're on vacation you're in luck. Unlike many places in the elk range, we have access to and provide free unlimited high speed internet. We can accommodate up to 8 guests and have 4 bedrooms so everyone can have their privacy. We look forward to having you as a guest.

We really enjoyed our stay. We spent most of our time at the campfire and in the kitchen around the table. Love how quiet and peaceful it was. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, baking sheets, mixing bowls. Walmart was only about 20 minutes away. Local wineries were on the way to Walmart....good wine! This was a great place for a relaxing get away.

This was our second stay and we loved it once again. We were supposed to have 7 guests but, due to illness, only 3 were able to make it… So we didn’t need the new bedroom in the basement but it looked like a great addition… hopefully we will get to use it in the future. The upstairs rooms are comfortable and set up nicely. The first bedroom on the left could use a more cushioned mattress topper but not a deal breaker by any means. The whole house is well arranged and fully stocked and everything was very clean. We didn’t use the outside space much since we were often out elk sighting and visiting family at a nearby campground but it looks great for those wanting to grill or sit by a fire. The porch swing was nice to sit and sip morning tea/coffee. Overall, no complaints and we would highly recommend!

We got together with some of my family to enjoy Elk County. The house was perfect for us. Very clean and we liked the way it was decorated. The location was perfect. A short 10 minute drive to the Elk county visitor center and elk viewing areas. Saw deer in the backyard. Highly recommend this house.

My husband and I spend our 28th wedding anniversary here. I house was amazing. We had coffee every morning and drinks every night on the back deck. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We saw elk every morning and every night up the road in the fields by the big green barn. I’m already looking at dates to come back next fall. Thank you so much for sharing the place with us

Check in was extremely convenient. House was very clean and perfect for the area. Lots of room to park trailers. Host was very responsive to messages. No problems with house. We saw two large bull elk right in the field beside the house every morning and evening. Everything we needed for a weekend away from home.

Everything was great. One issue was he AC Didn't seem to be working, and the owner had the Ecobee Thermostat locked out from adjusting below 72. The Cooling never came on, however opened windows, and turned on fans, and everything was pleasant. No skin over the issue for us.

This property was immaculate! The yard was very large and allowed our pups to run off some energy. It was perfect for a long weekend away. Very relaxing! Already looking to rebook for late summer.

I finally found my home away from home. This is an excellent rental. It is clean, comfortable and in a great location as well as being affordable. I've stayed in one rental for years until it was sold and the price more than tripled! Thank you for providing a wonderful place to stay so that we can continue to visit this beautiful area.

We rented this cabin for the weekend after Thanksgiving and it was a wonderful time. The house is big and renovated and the yard out back is huge. Would love to come back in warmer weather to really get to appreciate the outdoor space. Our only suggestion would be to maybe add a mattress pad to the guest bedroom beds, one room the mattress was very hard and the other seemed crunchy when moving around. Otherwise this property had all we needed and being dog friendly made it even better. Can't wait to come back again!

The property was clean, exactly how it was listed, we loved being so close to all of the elk activity. We would definitely stay here again.

This was a great little house set on a very nice and spacious property. It was quiet, peaceful and very close to Benezette. It was well stocked with all the essentials so didn't have to bring much with us. Got to meet the owners who were very nice. Check in was a breeze. Looking forward to staying here again. Thanks!

Enjoyed the pretty property nestled in the mountains. Peaceful. Quiet. Minutes away from Benezette. Loved escaping the traffic of folks like us driving to the various viewing areas when we finished looking for the magnificent elk. Thank you to the property hosts for creating a wonderful place. We’ll be back!
